In Quzhou, duck heads are often made of brine, boiled with thick sauce such as soy sauce, supplemented by spices, which are very tasty and memorable. Many families will choose duck head as their daily dish, not only because it tastes delicious, but also because its preparation method is not too difficult. Put a big pot on the stove, add the seasonings such as fried onion, ginger, garlic, clear water and soy sauce, put the fresh duck head in after boiling, stew until it is mature, and then take it out of the pot. The duck head made in this way is soft, melts in the mouth, bites the bone, and sucks out rich sauce, which is intoxicating.

Quzhou has a well-known pot-stewed food company-"Bulaoshen", and the duck head made by this company has gained a lot of good reputation. Moreover, it has a legend. It originated from the ancient "medicated chicken", and its special feature lies in the production method. It is made of Chinese herbal medicines through scientific formula, and does not contain yellow wine, soy sauce and any chemical additives. The meat is crisp but not rotten, and it is fragrant and delicious. It has good color, fragrance and shape, and has certain health care function. This kind of folk delicacy was so popular with Emperor Qianlong, who was on a southern tour at that time, that it was later improved by Doctor Tai, and valuable supplements were added to the recipe, which became a secret meal in the palace. At present, the traditional formula has been adopted by "rejuvenation" duck head. Cooked duck head has no soup, only pieces of crystal clear frozen meat, which is chewy and slightly harder than homemade duck head, giving the "rejuvenation" duck head another unique flavor and edibility.

In fact, although I am from Quzhou, I don't like spicy food very much, and I seldom eat spicy food because of my bad stomach. It's just that I love this fragrance so much that I can't put it down until the last bite.

An overview of local specialties shows the deep imprint of local favorite food culture, including local people's understanding of what they think is "gourmet". I believe that all people will have a special love for the food in their hometown more or less, because those foods give us an indescribable feeling of comfort and pleasure, which is exactly what we need.
